Dreamweaver MX2004 is great. Download that for editing the website.
You will also need a host for your website (most likely a free one).
You can get a redirect URL at www.cjb.net (most free sites will give you something like hardcoregamer.free.website.com/website/index.php why cjb.net will reduce it to hardcoregamer.cjb.net :) ).
Using a template is the easiest way to get started and get some ideas, search google for one.
Once i register the name how do I make a website for that name?Quote:

Ok ill read that but in CJB what do I choose?
darkmessiahs.cjb.net is available. Please select one:
I would like to host my web site with CJB.NET.
I would like to redirect darkmessiahs.cjb.net to my existing web site.
I would like to use dynamic DNS to point darkmessiahs.cjb.net to my IP address.
Btw, can I make the name have symbols like this? ={DARKMESSIAHS}= It wont let me in CJB.
Wait until you've actually got a website to redirect to before you use cjb.net. I'm guessing their hosting service isn't free.
Wait so its not free? What is a free one that I can register a name for? As I said above can I make the name have symbols like this? ={DARKMESSIAHS}= It wont let me in CJB.
No, that would be illegal as an internet address.
For your website first you want to find some webspace to host your site, then you want to create your site and upload it, then you want to use the free cjb.net redirect option (the second one in your list above) to redirect to your site
Can u tell me step by step or does the guide tell me that?
The guide's got a few suggestions on where to sign up for some free webspace. Might be worth checking if you get free webspace with your ISP account as well.
How would I check if my ISP gives me free webspace? Would it be better then a normal free webspace? I have Comcast internet if that helps.Quote:

If not, just sign up to one of the places in the guide.
Ok, thx for the help Emdee. :) I'll read the guide.
CJB.NET is free.
Select the second option (I would like to redirect darkmessiahs.cjb.net to my existing web site. ).
I agree with amdee make your website before the url. :rolleyes:
Can it be ={DARKMESSIAHS}= .cjb.net or no? How do I use Dreamweaver?Quote:

try reading this: http://www.w3schools.com/site/default.asp
then see where you are at. it tells you all the basics of what tags are etc.
then go to http://www.freewebtemplates.com/ ( i googled website template) and find one you like....modify it till its how you want it.
then find a host to upload to
upload it, then get your url. you can only have alphanumerics in the url (and no spaces) so it cant be anything fancy like you wanted
There are a lot of them on google.
btw, emdee, what movie is that in your sig? I watched it on saturday night and forgot the name. :lol:
How do I save a template and open it for Dreamweaver? What file type should it be saved as?

no m8 you edit the html files with wordpad or with a program like dreamweaver.
the thing you can edit with photoshop are probably the images that belong to the template you was gonna use.
Oh i see. You mean the .GIF files I can edit? I am gonna use a template from here: http://www.clantemplates.com/?source=gallery&cat=21Quote:

right click the html file open with wordpad and edit what you want to edit.
Whaa? notepad? How would I edit the banner so it has our clan name?
That depends on the template.Quote:

Alternatively, you could just write text over the top of them in Dreamweaver.
EDIT
/me should've read that quote all the way thru before posting. Who's the man? :01: :lol:
Ohh nvm, so the images in the image folder i can edit and it will automatically change the look of my template?
As long as you save them as the same file format and name. Also when yoou upload it you will have o upload the whole folder in its original folder structure or face some html work in word/notepad.Quote:

See if any of your clan have done html before.
yep good advice, it will also be full of scripts that everyone who ahs ever used he internet knows they are from some website that gives out free scripts. Get someone who doesnt think html is another form of aids:rolleyes:.Quote:

Not that hard to make but it will be one of those shit ones that ahs random scripts that don't work. if you want anything good pay someone i spose. Or learn.Quote:
